TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to novel condensed imidazole derivatives useful as dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPPIV) inhibitors and uses thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a serine protease which specifically hydrolyzes dipeptide —X-Pro (X=arbitrary amino acid) from the free N terminus of a polypeptide chain.

[0003] Glucose-dependent, insulin secretion-stimulating hormones, known as incretins (GLP-1: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 and GIP: Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) secreted in the digestive tract following meals are rapidly hydrolyzed and inactivated by DPPIV. When the hydrolysis by DPPIV is suppressed, the action of incretin (GLP-1 and GIP) is enhanced, which in turn increases the glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin from the β cells of the pancreas. This has been shown to improve hyperglycemia in the oral glucose tolerance test (see Diabetologia 1999 November, 42(11), 1324-31). In addition, GLP-1 is known to be involved in the suppression of appetite and food intake. GLP-1 has also been reported to have the effect of protecting the β cells of the pancreas by enhancing cell differentiation and proliferation. Thus, a DPPIV inhibitor can be a useful therapeutic or preventive agent for diseases with which GLP-1 and/or GIP are associated, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus.

[0004] Furthermore, there are many reports suggesting a relationship between dipeptidyl peptidase IV and various diseases as described below. Thus, a DPPIV inhibitor can be a therapeutic agent for diseases such as:

[0005] (1) preventive and therapeutic agents for AIDS (see Science 1993, 262, 2045-2050),

[0006] (2) preventive and therapeutic agents for osteoporosis (see Clinical chemistry 1988, 34, 2499-2501),

[0007] (3) preventive and therapeutic agents for intestinal disorders (see Endocrinology 2000, 141, 4013-4020),

[0008] (4) preventive and therapeutic agents for diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hyperlipidemia (see Diabetes 1998, 47, 1663-1670; and Life Sci 2000, 66(2), 91-103),

[0009] (5) preventive and therapeutic agents for angiogenesis (see Agents and Actions 1991, 32, 125-127),

[0010] (6) preventive and therapeutic agents for infertility (see International Publication WO 00/56296),

[0011] (7) preventive and therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and chronic rheumatoid arthritis (see The Journal of Immunology 2001, 166, 2041-2048), and

[0012] (8) preventive and therapeutic agents for cancer (see Br J Cancer 1999 March, 79(7-8), 1042-8; and J Androl 2000 March-April, 21(2), 220-6).

[0013] Some DPPIV inhibitors are disclosed in the Publication of U.S. Pat. No. 2002/0161001; International Publication WO 03/004496; and Publication of U.S. Pat. No. 2002/0198205. However, there is no known DPPIV inhibitor having a hypoxanthine or imidazopyridazinone structure backbone.

[0014] A compound having DPPIV-inhibiting activity that can be used as a pharmaceutical agent is being anxiously sought as described above. However, a compound with excellent DPPIV-inhibiting activity, which is also highly useful as a clinically effective pharmaceutical is yet to be discovered. Specifically, an objective of the present invention is to provide compounds having DPPIV-inhibiting activity, which can be used as preventive, therapeutic, or alleviating agents for diabetes mellitus or such diseases.

The aqueous layer was extracted with 1 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined together, and then divided into equal halves. One of the halves was concentrated by flushing with nitrogen gas, and the residue was dissolved in 0.5 ml of methanol. The solution was combined with 0.1 ml of 5N hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was left for 1 hour. The solvent was removed, and the residue was purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (using an acetonitrile-water mobile phase (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid)) to give 0.007 g of the title compound.

Assay Example 2 Effect on the Glucose Tolerance of Normal Mice (in Vivo Test)

[1958] Animal: male C57BL/6N mice (purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc.)

[1959] Method:

[1960] [Preparation and Administration of Test Compounds]

[1961] Each test compound was suspended in a 0.5% methyl cellulose (MC) solution at the concentration indicated below in Table. The suspension of a test compound, and of NVP DPP728 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,011,155), or a 0.5% MC solution that was used as a medium control group was given orally at a dose of 10 mL/kg. After 30 minutes, a glucose solution was given orally at a dose of 10 mL/kg. The dose of glucose given orally was 2 g/kg.

[1962] [Blood Collection and Determination of Blood Glucose Levels]

[1963] Immediately before administering the test compound and NVP DPP728, immediately before administering the glucose solution, and 30, 60, and 120 minutes after the administration, without anesthetic the caudal vein was lightly cut with a razor blade to let blood out. 10 μl of blood was collected and immediately combined with 140 μl of 0.6 M perchloric acid. The sample was centrifuged at 1500 g at 4° C. for 10 minutes in a refrigerated centrifuge GS-6KR (Beckman Corp.). The glucose concentration in the resulting supernatant was determined using Glucose CII TEST WAKO (Wako Pure Chemical Industries).

[1964] Result:

[1965] The area under the blood glucose level time curve (AUC₀₋₁₂₀; Area Under the Curve) obtained from the curve of time vs. blood glucose level between the start of glucose administration and 120 minutes after administration was determined for each of the 0.5% MC solution-treated group, NVP DPP728-treated group and test compound-treated group. The improvement factor for glucose tolerance of a test compound was determined by taking the AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the 0.5% MC solution-treated group as 100% and the AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the NVP DPP728 (10 mg/kg)-treated group as 0% according to the formula indicated below.

[1966] Improvement factor for glucose tolerance (%)=(AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the group treated with a test compound−AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the group treated with NVP DPP728 (10 mg/kg))/AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the group treated with 0.5% MC solution−AUC₀₋₁₂₀ of the group treated with NVP DPP728 (10 mg/kg))×100

[1967] The lower the % value, the grater the improvement in the glucose tolerance.

[1968] Some of the novel condensed imidazole derivatives of the present invention were found to have significant effects on the glucose tolerance of normal mice through the in vivo experiment described above which comprised oral administration of the compounds at doses of 0.1-10 (mg/kg).

Assay Example 3

[1969] Acceptable Timing of Administration in in Vivo Test

[1970] A drug for treating postprandial hyperglycemia is ideally required to have comparable effectiveness in treating postprandial hyperglycemia when it is given immediately before meals as well as 1 hour before meals. Thus, an excellent drug exhibiting higher efficacy can be achieved by widening the range of acceptable timing of administration

[1971] Method:

[1972] The respective tests described below were carried out in combination with the in vivo test (administration before 0.5 hour) as described in Assay Example 2:

[1973] 1. A test compound is administered simultaneously with glucose loading (2 g/kg) (the test compound is suspended in an aqueous solution of 0.5% methyl cellulose; the solution is combined with an equal volume of a glucose solution; and the mixture is administered orally at a dose of 10 ml/kg);

[1974] 2. A test compound is administered one hour before glucose loading (2 g/kg) (the test compound suspended in an aqueous solution of 0.5% methyl cellulose is administered orally one hour before the oral administration of the glucose solution; each is given orally at a dose of 10 ml/kg).

[1975] The improvement factor for glucose tolerance is estimated in each test. The range of acceptable timing of administration can be assessed by estimating whether comparable degrees of improvement are obtained by the two types of administrations, preferably when the dose difference is 3 times or lower, and most preferably estimating whether comparable degrees of improvement are obtained by the two types of administrations when the doses are identical. Such representative compounds of the present invention (in particular, compounds selected from the group consisting of those shown in Examples 82, 119, 120, 122, 229, and 267) were shown to have sufficiently wide ranges of acceptable timing of administration as defined above.

[1976] Animal: male Wistar rats (purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc.)

[1977] Method:

[1978] [Preparation and Administration of Test Compounds]

[1979] A test compound was suspended in 0.5% methyl cellulose (MC) solution and administered orally at a dose of 5 mL/kg. The control group was treated with a 0.5% MC solution. The solution was administered orally at a dose of 5 mL/kg.

[1980] [Blood Collection and Determination of Blood Glucose Levels]

[1981] Immediately before administering a test compound or 0.5% MC solution, and 0.5, 1, and 3 hours after the administration, without anesthetic the caudal vein was lightly cut with a razor blade to let the blood out. 10 μL of blood was collected and combined with 140 μL of 0.6 M perchloric acid solution. The sample was centrifuged at 3000 g at 4° C. for 10 minutes and the resultant supernatant was assayed with the Glucose CII TEST WAKO (Wako Pure Chemical Industries).

[1982] Result:

[1983] Some of the novel condensed imidazole derivatives of the present invention (in particular, compounds selected from the group consisting of those shown in Examples 82, 119, 120, 122, 229, and 267) showed no significant change in the blood glucose level in blood samples collected at any sampling time, as compared with the control group treated with the medium alone in the in vivo experiment as described above, where each compound was administered orally at a dose of 10-30 (mg/kg).

[1985] Method:

[1986] [Preparation and Administration of Test Compounds]

[1987] The test compound was suspended in 0.5% methyl cellulose (MC) solution. The suspension of the test compound or a 0.5% MC solution that was used as a medium-control group was given orally at a dose of 5 mL/kg. After 0.5 hr, a glucose solution was given orally at a dose of 5 mL/kg. The dose of glucose given orally was 2 g/kg.

[1988] [Blood Collection Method and Determination of Blood Glucose, Insulin, and GLP-1 Levels]

[1989] Immediately before administering a test compound or 0.5% MC solution, immediately before the glucose loading, and 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 hours after the glucose loading, without anesthetic the caudal vein was slightly cut with a razor blade to let blood out. 250 μl of blood was collected using a heparin-coated capillary, and transferred into a centrifuge tube. The sample was centrifuged at 10000 g at 4° C. for 2 minutes. The levels of insulin and GLP-1 in the resultant supernatant were determined with an insulin assay kit (Morinaga Biochemical Institute) and Active GLP-1 ELISA kit (Linco), respectively. At the same time, 10 μl of blood was collected and combined with 140 μl of 0.6 M perchloric acid solution. The sample was centrifuged at 3000 g at 4° C. for 10 minutes, and the resultant supernatant was assayed with the Glucose CII TEST WAKO (Wako Pure Chemical Industries). Only the blood glucose level was determined three hours after glucose loading.

[1991] The area under the blood glucose level (AUC_(Glu(0-3 h))) between the start of glucose administration and 3 hours after administration, the area under insulin level time curve (AUC_(ins(0-2 h))), and the area under GLP-1 level time curve (AUC_(GLP-1(0-2 h))) were determined for each of the 0.5% MC solution-treated group and eath of the test compound-treated groups. The variation in glucose tolerance, variations in the insulin level, and GLP-1 level due to the test compound were determined by taking the AUC of the 0.5% MC solution-treated group as 100% according to the following formula.

[1992] The rate of change in glucose tolerance (%)=AUC_(0-3 h) of the group treated with a test compound/(AUC_(0-3 h) of the group treated with 0.5% MC solution)×100

[1993] The rate of change in insulin and GLP-1 level (%)=AUC_(0-2 h) of the group treated with a test compound/(AUC_(0-2 h) of the group treated with 0.5% MC solution)×100

[1994] Some of the novel condensed imidazole derivatives of the present invention (in particular, compounds selected from the group consisting of those shown in Examples 82, 119, 120, 122, 229, and 267) were shown to change the insulin and GLP-1 levels at rates higher than 100% and exhibit glucose tolerance at a rate of change lower than 100% in the in vivo experiment as described above, where each compound was administered orally at a dose of 0.1-10 (mg/kg).

Assay Example 6 Assessment for Drug-Metabolizing Enzyme (Cytochrome P450)

[1995] The inhibitory activity IC₅₀ was determined using an expression system for recombinant P450 and the fluorescent substrates (GENTEST Corp.) indicated in Tables 2 and 3 according to the Assay Procedure (WWW.gentest.com) prepared by GENTEST Corp. P450 molecular species assessed were the five molecular species, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. The experimental conditions used are shown below. The fluorescence intensity was determined using a plate reader (CYTO FLUOR Multi-Well Plate Reader Series 4000; PerSeptive Biosystems Corp.). The degree of inhibition was determined as a mean value from nine independent assays per second using as an index the intensity fluorescence emitted from the metabolite of the fluorescent substrate.

[1996] The substrates, metabolites, inhibitors, excitation wavelengths, and fluorescence wavelengths used in the assay are shown in Table 2.

[1998] <Assay Result>

[1999] The compounds of the present invention were evaluated for their ability to inhibit metabolic reactions due to P450 in Assay Example 6. This experiment showed that representative compounds of the present invention (in particular, compounds selected from the group consisting of those shown in Examples 82, 119, 120, 122, 229, and 267) exhibited 10 μM or higher IC₅₀ values with respect to five out of the P450 group of molecules, namely the molecular species, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4.

Assay Example 7 Suppression of hERG Channel Current

[2000] (1) Activity towards inhibiting the hERG channel current was evaluated according to the report Zhou, Z et al, Biophysical Journal, 74(1), 230-241 (1998).

[2001] (2) This experiment was carried out using HEK-293 cells into which the hERG channel gene (subtype 1) had been introduced (the cell line was established by the inventors).

[2002] (3) One to several days before the experiment, cells were plated on a poly-lysine-coated glass plate. The cells were cultured until the day of the experiment. At the start of the experiment, the cell-seeded glass plate was transferred into a bath for current measurement. The hERG channel current was measured by the voltage clamp method using the patch clamp technique. The current was measured using a current amplifier (Axon Instruments). The current was recorded and analyzed using pCLAMP software (Axon Instruments).

[2003] (4) The hERG channel current was induced by applying to the cells a depolarizing pulse from a holding potential of −80 mV to +20 mV for 5 seconds and to −50 mV for 4 seconds, at 20 second intervals. After the current became stable in a control solution, the cells were perfused with solutions containing various concentrations of test compounds.

[2004] (5) The amplitude of the hERG channel current was defined as the peak value of the tail current observed upon restoring the potential to −50 mV. The inhibiting effect of a test compound on the hERG channel current (IC₅₀) was estimated based on the change in the peak value of tail current upon addition of the test compound at various concentrations. The peak value of tail current recorded for a normal solution was taken as 100%.

[2005] <Test result>

[2006] Representative compounds of the present invention (in particular, compounds selected from the group consisting of those shown in Examples 82, 119,120, 122, 229, and 267) were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the hERG channel current in Assay Example 7. The IC₅₀ values of the compounds were 30 μM or higher.
